Hello Douglas!
Lovely to hear from you. I have been a teacher for about 12 years now (I used to work in a bank!) I have only been teaching in Thailand for nearly a year. Before I moved to Bangkok in August last year, I was aYear 2/3 teacher in an Primary school and then a Year 7 teacher at in Intermediate School in Napier, New Zealand - my hometown.
Working in Thailand is very different to working in New Zealand. The weather is the most different. It is so hot here - all year round!
Although the school I work for is in Thailand - it is a school that is based around the American education system.
I hope that answers your questions for you.
